Abstract

The complication rate of radiofrequency cath- eter ablation varies depending on patient characteristicsand treatment, and has been reported to be approximately3%. Esophageal irritation is one significant complicationof catheter ablation, and its most common result is atrio- esophageal fistulae. However, rarely, unexpected compli- cations and clinical variants occur due to irritation of thevagal nerve or peri-esophageal tissue without fistula for- mation. In this case report, attention is drawn to this rarecomplication in two cases, one of which occurred afterparaseptal-epicardial accessory pathway ablation, and theother after atrial fibrillation ablation. Both were symptom- atic with severe gag reflex.

Özet

Radyofrekans kateter ablasyonunda komplikasyonoranı hasta özellikleri ve işleme bağlı olarak değişmekle be- raber yaklaşık %3 olarak bildirilmiştir. Radyofrekans kateterablasyonu sonrası özofagus irritasyonu nadir görülmesinerağmen önemli bir komplikasyondur. Özofagus irritasyonu- nun en bilinen sonucu atriyoözofajiyal fistüldür. Ancak na- diren fistül oluşmadan özofagus veya periözofajiyal vagalsinirin irritasyonuna bağlı olarak aslında radyofrekans ka- tater ablasyonu sonrası beklenmeyen komplikasyonlar vebununla ilişkili klinik semptomlar ortaya çıkabilir. Bu yazıdabiri paraseptal-epikardiyal aksesuar yol ablasyonu diğeri iseatriyum fibrilasyonu ablasyonu sonrası özofagus irritasyonugelişen ve şiddetli öğürme refleksiyle bulgu veren iki olgusunarak bu nadir komplikasyona dikkat çekmek istedik.
